Suwon, Korea during a typhoon

Going through my Lightroom library I came across several images from beautiful Suwon, which is a town just South of Seoul, South Korea. Suwon has a world heritage site because of its gorgeous ancient castle that encloses most of the city. I was there for just a short while (rest of the time was taken by an excellent workshop organized by an old friend at Sungkyunkwan University) and happened to be there in a typhoon that was just passing over there. Horizontal driving rain and such made for a difficult time keeping my camera dry but did provide for some interesting clouds. You can also find these images on Google+. Facebook, and flickr. Click on the images for much larger versions.
